Film

Anyone seen a movie called Lowlife? I've read reviews saying it's a modern classic, but god knows what that might mean these days.

I actually have that downloaded. It seems to have good reviews but I can't be arsed with it yet.

Watched a great film called Big bad wolves the last night as well. Definitely worth checking out.

Is it this one:

I must give it a watch.

Ya that's it.
Very good film.

When I saw Irreversible, which was about 04/05, I had not been privy to the amount of real gore and violence as the ensuing years have delivered thanks to the internet so it was seriously disturbing. Also, the single angle, if I remember correctly, added to the discomfort. Martyrs was unfortunately a cake walk. I'm aware of that and it was not a willing development but it is where I am.

Enter The Void was great. Only watched it earlier this year. Really must check out his other stuff.

This for me too, pretty much. I found the scene in Irreversible just as difficult to watch last night, though I was watching it with herself, who had never seen it before, in silence. Let's just say it really magnified the tension of the brute male force over female dynamic.

A mate once told me that a flatmate of his had brought a girl back to watch a film after a few pints. They stuck on Irreversible (my mate's idea - he'd seen it, they hadn't, he just sat back and waited) and all was well until that scene. They didn't last long after that.

They didn't last long after that.

Not the best film to ride to alright

Could be worse - I picked the film for a first night out with a lass. Boogie Nights was a bad call.

A friend of mine told me that I should watch "Irreversible" and "Into The Void" and also "Martyrs" some years ago but, having been given the gist of them, I've never been able to bring myself to watch any of these films. Mainly for the sake of my own mental well-being.

Unlike being told nothing about at all about Pasolini's "Salò - or the 120 Days of Sodom" except that it was a masterpiece and then having to watch it all the way through on a big screen back when I was in college.

Enter the Void isn't at all a "difficult" watch in the way people say of Martyrs or Irreversible.

That would certainly put the pressure on to live up to the moment alright 

[Carnage]

Indeed. We didn't last too long either (so to speak).

 Big Bad Wolves.  As blessed1 said yesterday, a very good film.

Another excellent thriller I watched recently.

Looked at the new invisible man the other night. Not the worst but riddled with holes. Still not the worst though.

Watched Bad Times At The El Royale last night. Not bad, took a while to get going and then the end seemed a bit rushed, but worth a watch overall. Cynthia Erivo can sing, too.

Took a girl to see a re-release of Ruggero Deodato's "Cannibal Holocaust" on a first date in 2006. She said that she liked horror movies. I'd seen it a few times before over the years but never in a cinema - admittedly it probably wasn't the right choice. She watched the first 20 mins (or less) through covered eyes.

"Can we leave?" she asked.

Went for a drink instead.

Same girl hasn't left my side since. Got married in 2016.

Still hasn't watched "Cannibal Holocaust " though.
